These premium wires are stranded 22AWG wires with male terminals on both ends. Together with our 0.1" crimp connector housings, these wires can be used to make custom cables with 0.1" (2.54mm) connectors. These 5 ft (150 cm) wires have brown insulation and ship in packs of 2.

These wires with pre-crimped terminals are equivalent to our premium jumper wires without the 1×1 crimp connector housings on the ends. By combining these wires with our crimp connector housings, you can quickly and easily create custom cables with 0.1" (2.54mm) connectors that mate with various 0.1"-spaced connectors, including male and female headers and solderless breadboards. Just pick the housing for the correct number of pins, pick the colors and genders for your wires, and snap them into the housings (note: it’s not easy to get the wires back out, so plan carefully!). No soldering is required!

You can easily make cable harnesses or assemblies that branch from one connector on one side to multiple connectors on the other (an example of this is shown in the picture to the right); you can also cut off one pre-crimped end and solder the wires directly to components to make swapping connections easy, as shown in the motor picture below.

These are the same colors as those used on resistor color codes and rainbow ribbon cable. The wire packs of different lengths include different quantities of wires. The table below shows the quantity included for a particular length-color combination:

24" (60 cm) rainbow assortments:

36" (90 cm) rainbow assortments:

60" (150 cm) rainbow assortments:

One of our customers has made a very nice video that talks about how to make custom cables with these pre-crimped wires and with self-crimped wires made with our crimping tool. The section on using pre-crimped wires and crimp connector housings starts at around 2:00.
